Well as Bioware has lifted the NDA yay SWTOR!
For those of you who don't know, this is where I've been this weekend and the one before last (previous one just had me ill and trying to recover). Let's just say that as a WoW gamer, I love this game. It combines awesome storyline (I giggled.... alot.), awesome companions (sell all my stuff so I don't have to run back to the vendor? hells yes!), decent controls (yay auto loot) and Star Wars (need I say more?).
I'm not going to tell anything about the storylines I've played so far on account of the fact that well, thats spoiling part of the awesomness. Let's just say that whether you're Republic or Empire, you can definitely tell which are the good and bad options in conversation.... I've killed a lot of NPCs this way.
The companions are wicked. Depending on your class, your first companion almost always is something that's going to help you survive in the game. I mainly played a Sith Inquisitor who's basically like a shaman or a cross between a mage and a priest. My companion, while looking like he eats puppies, is a tank. Which means running through mobs like they're swiss cheese. Plus you can send them to go sell all your grey crap. Dear god, that feature is awesome when you're low on inventory.
The controls are easy to get a hang of. Most of it is the same as other MMORPGs. Plus they have that MMORPG for Newbs tutorial guide popping up on the right. Looting is easy. Killing is easy. It's winning. Plain and simple.
And yes, I'm nerdy. I couldn't help squeeing about this game. Repeatedly. I'm pretty sure I will have no life for the first week of live play as even beta makes me want to just conquer the game.
Dunno if anyone else has beta access this weekend but I play
on the Canderous Ordo Server. Sith Sorcerer by the name of Strykera... cause well, I get to electrocute people.
